Ya they had Jefferson County Health and the state all in a up roar when they wouldn't shut down during the "shut down". And yes we are CA2.0 but still a lot of car people and cars, the real ones, here. I think noise is a big factor too. They were already shutting everything down by 10pm. With the new housing right across the highway no way in hell those people are going to tolerate the Mile High Nationals. Same thing happened when they built DIA 20 miles out of town. They immediately built houses out by the airport and then those a**clowns whined about the airport noise. So DIA then had to build sound walls. No way Bandimere is building sound walls.

Street racing and airport drags will pick up some of it.


Red Rocks was a venue long before Bandimere came into play. Definitely was not the issue. House across the Freeway were/are. They are building new house at a fast rate. My Cousin lives just a couple miles from the track, and says you can hear the track when the Nationals are in town. Doesn't bother most people, but only takes a few A holes to mess everything up.

This reply from Debbie Bandimere this morning, I asked if they had anything promising yet:

Nothing concrete but most likely east or north of Denver. We have had several encouraging meetings with county officials, even one this past week. Our heart and desires are to provide a place for our racers, fans, and sponsors to continue doing the sport we all love.

Thank you for your support!

I just don't understand how the law allows people to move next to an existing racetrack and then complain and sue until they get it closed down. It has happened scores of times in this country. Here in Missouri Wentzville raceway was closed this way. Just for nostalgia I drove there one day, and the track is now covered with subdivisions.

FWIW the two housing devlopements close to Bandimere had to sign a waiver when buying property there that they would not try to sue or complain about noise or traffic from events held there. There is more going on there than has been discussed. The daughters do not seem to have a ton of interst in keeping it going. One of them has married a very well known bracket racer and moved to Texas and is expecting her first child soon. Been told her parents are moving to Texas as well to be with them. The other seems to have little interest in it. They say they will look for a place in their announcement but time will tell.

I've been doing the Coy's swap meet there for probably about 30 years now and I guess in 3 weeks will the last one, ever. frown I'm quite sad about this.

I flew out of Stapleton international in Denver for years. They dozed it and put in the new airport. Folks then decided to build homes out there, what kind of moron would do that?? I’ll bet money bandimere is done and there will be no new track. I lived, worked, and went to school in Denver for years. It is a congested nightmare now. Sad, Bandimere probably the nicest track I’ve ever driven on.

I would think the highway between Bandimere and the housing across the way would also be loud as hell to live next to. I dont understand the demand for these housing tracts that are built on top of highways and other existing infrastructure. I have my 20 acres i can hide on........
